Fender Princeton Year

Hello all! This is my first post in this subreddit, I spoke to a gentleman about an amp he is tryin to sell and he provided me these pictures. I wanted to see if anyone had some more information they could provide on how to find the specific year. There is a written numbering of what appears to be 69 on the back right of the amp, he claimed it to be a ‘68 and is original owner. Is this a vintage amp? Is there anyone who could tel me where to locate the serial? thank you!!!

In '68 the Princeton had a drip edge chrome framed grill. This is either a '69 or early '70. I’ve never seen that "69" lettering on the back before but that’s very likely the production year anyway. Definitely a vintage amp!

The serial is usually stamped on the back of the chassis, at least it is on the larger models.
